Set against a dramatic graduated backdrop of inky blues - the subject is the standout in this moody monochromatic composition. This piece is composed using a photo realistic approach with elements such the beak, eye and wrinkled skin containing multiple layers of glazing to create ultra-lifelike depth while the softness and interplay of light and shadow. The iridescent quality of the subjects feathers is expertly captured by REK using a myriad of colors to create a luminous effect.
